Re: Volvo diesels / opinions on longevity+reliability 200

The PO of mine definatly followed the 7500 mile oil change bit. The engine was just plain nasty inside.

I took a gamble today and ran two flushes , one for ten minuits and the second for twenty minuits (you should'a seen the yuckum that came out of that thing ), then refilled with 1 3/4 qts Rislone and the rest with Delo .

Then I took it out for a run that would normally gobble up about 1/2 to 3/4 qt oil, and it hadn't used any, and it has oodles more power now.

Looks like I may have freed up some very stuck rings.

Now all I have to do is watch out for the impending gasket leaks
